Organiser's Description

The Betws-y-coed Trail Challenge takes competitors on what must be one of the toughest and most beautiful trail running courses in the UK - most of this spectacular route was used for the 2015 World Mountain Running Championships. From the start line behind St Mary's Church in Betws-y-coed, both 10k and 5k routes climb up into the Gwydyr Forest, where they split to allow the longer route to do a lap of Llyn Elsi, before joining back up to finish at the Waterloo Hotel.
